Summary: "Cultural Exchange" by Keith Laumer is a science fiction short story published in the early 1960s. Set against a backdrop of intergalactic diplomacy, the story explores cultural and economic interactions between different worlds through a student exchange program. The narrative centers around the main character, Retief, who inadvertently becomes embroiled in the complexities of this exchange, particularly regarding the Bogans, a group known for their past aggressions and a vital wine crop. In the story, Retief is tasked with overseeing the logistics of a cultural exchange program involving Bogan students. As he navigates through diplomatic challenges, he uncovers a plot involving a shipment of tractors bound for the agricultural world of Lovenbroy, which could jeopardize the local economy and fabric of society. When the Bogan students, a youthful group of males, arrive, it becomes apparent that they are not merely here to study but that their presence is connected to broader conflicts, including a mortgage on Lovenbroy's prime grape-growing areas. The narrative unfolds with humor and intrigue as Retief finds ways to facilitate the harvesting of a wine crop while ensuring the students are productively engaged, ultimately leading to unexpected connections and resolutions between the worlds involved.
